A "strong" feeling...

Both my boys i thought were girls especially ds2,i never believed the scans until birth(but he is the most boyish boy there ever was) And this one i thought was a boy and its a girl:)

I was quite sure ds2 was a girl. Just like sweetsister, he is the most boyish boy you could imagine.

I had a strong feeling with DS 1 and DD. But I had the strongest feeling of all that DS 3 was a DD and I was dead wrong on that! With DS 2 and 4 I had no feelings either way.

I thought DD was a boy...to the point that I didn't believe the u/s tech at our 18 week u/s and paid for a private one to confirm. I knew DS was a boy right from day one...so I'm only 50/50 on the gut feelings.

Ds1 is knew deep down he was a boy, but I didn't admit even to myself until he was born.

I had a very strong feeling ds2 was a girl. When I heard it was a boy, well it was the biggest shock of my life - but a good shock, a shock I needed.

With Dd, I didn't want to think I was having either gender. I was scared I would have the same feelings as I did with my second that I tried my best to block out any 'instincts' until her first u/s. Even after I heard the magic words I still didn't truely believe it until I saw her private bits at birth. :P

With DS1, I knew he was a boy the second I got a BFP. With DS2, I was convinced he was a girl, I just knew it...so wrong! This time, I feel like it's a boy again. Would be nice if I was wrong :)

With DD, I knew she was a girl once I found out we concieved her. I had a very, very strong feeling before that if I followed thru with my plan to try in Dec, I'd have a DD. After a few weeks, I doubted myself some, but closer to the 20 week scan, I felt very confident I'd hear it's a girl. It wasn't hope--or wishful thinking, I just somehow really knew.

My husband was convinced DS2 was a girl, but I knew from the minute I saw the two lines that he'd be a boy. Everytime I tried to picture a girl when preggo with him, I couldn't--I kept seeing a boy, and I scolded myself for it, telling myself to stop thinking negatively, that it coudl be a girl, that it was 50/50 chance, but I just knew that he was going to be a boy.

DS1 was my only shocker. I didn't really have a feeling, just wishful thinking that he'd be a girl. As a matter of fact for some reason, I never considered he could be anything other than a girl. Not once did I entertain the thought 'well it could be a boy..' so when I heard boy at the scan, I was shocked! I think if I had explored my feelings better, I may have been able to suss it out, but I was preocciped with a lot of things (a health ordeal, getting married, buying a house.)

Also, this is going to sound strange, but once I was pregnant, and everytime I was on this forum, looking at my signature, and glancing over at the two blue bears, all I could visualize was adding a pink bear next to the 2nd blue bear. Everytime I tried to picture adding a 3rd blue bear, I knew it wasn't going to happen--that I'd be adding pink bear instead!

I only had a strong feeling the third time and I was right.

This time I do have a feeling one way (girl) but I won't let myself believe it or think about it too much.

ds1 i knew he was a boy right from 10 weeks and i was so sure
ds2 no clues really but didn't see him being a girl
ds3 i knew the second the opk+ face appeared i was pregnant and he was a boy - spent months trying to persuade myself shettles would be right i would get my girl, it had worked by 15 weeks i was so sure i'd hear girl and was gutted when i didn't and cross at myself for letting myself believe it could be when i knew it wasn't - if you know what i mean
this baby - i'm not sure, i can't really see a boy but i don't think i'm mean't to be a girl mom either (although i did have a dream months back i'd get my little girl 3 months after we had our lily (dog - my little girl substitute), we had lily end of june now i'm pregnant....????

Yes and no.

With my DD I knew from the moment the test was positive that it was a girl. There was never a doubt in my mind that it could be anything but a girl.

With DS1 I was convinced it was a girl right until I was 16 weeks pregnant. I was due for a scan there and the night before I dreamt that the tech told me boy. In my dream I absolutely flipped because I was SO not having a boy - next day, sure enough, tech said boy and I didn't flip :giggle:

With DS2 I didn't have any feeling, but I hoped so much I convinced myself it was a girl. Deep down I knew it was a boy though. The tech wasn't sure if it was a boy or a girl at the scan, but I was so sure myself that I bought blue clothes. I had an absolute feeling at bout 15 weeks. I just knew in my heart I was having another boy, even though I kept trying to convince myself it was a girl.

Next time I'm going to try to keep calm. I'm planning on going Team Green, but let's see if I can control my curiosity. We've talked about getting the tech to write it down on a piece of paper in case we change our minds, but I think, with us, thats gonna last until we get out of the hospital!
